About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the tobacco bond actually covers

Georgia licenses cigar, cigarette, and vapor products distributors through the Department of Revenue under Title 48, Chapter 11. The license is conditioned on a performance and tax liability bond running to the State Revenue Commissioner.

The bond is conditioned on the distributor paying all taxes, license fees, charges, penalties, and interest — together with any collection expenses the State incurs — and complying with the laws of Georgia and the Revenue Commissioner's rules. If the distributor fails to pay, the Department recovers against the bond.

Because the amount tracks your tax exposure, the figure is whatever the Department of Revenue sets for your license (commonly anywhere from about $1,000 up to $50,000). Enter that amount and apply — pricing starts from $100, the application collects no credit information, and your exact price appears before you pay.

O.C.G.A. §§ 48-11-4 and 48-11-7 (Dept. of Revenue)O.C.G.A. §§ 48-11-4 and 48-11-7 require cigar, cigarette, and vapor products distributors to file a performance and tax liability surety bond with the Department of Revenue as a condition of licensure, conditioned on payment of all taxes, fees, penalties, interest, and collection expenses, and compliance with the Revenue Commissioner's rules. The Department sets the amount (commonly $1,000–$50,000). Confirm your required amount on your application.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Georgia tobacco distributor bond?The price is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — set by the bond amount, not a credit or underwriting tier. The Department of Revenue sets the bond amount for your license (commonly $1,000 to $50,000), tied to your tax volume. Enter that figure and apply to see your exact price.
Does this cover vapor products too?Yes. Georgia’s distributor licensing under Title 48, Chapter 11 covers cigars, cigarettes, and vapor products, and the performance and tax bond is required across those categories.
What does the bond guarantee?That you pay all tobacco taxes, license fees, penalties, and interest (plus collection costs) and comply with the Revenue Commissioner’s rules. If you fail to pay, the Department recovers against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information for this bond. Most applications approve instantly; if a check ever runs, it's a soft pull that won't affect your score. Larger bond amounts may get a quick review.
What amount should I choose if I'm not sure?Use the figure on your Department of Revenue license instructions. If it is not stated yet, send us the application and we will confirm the amount before issuing.
